Is valve adjustment necessary on a Honda?

Yes, it's necessary, especially on Honda and Acura vehicles. Valve wear in engines can lead to decreased performance and major engine damage. While Honda produces high-quality vehicles, regular maintenance is crucial to maximize their longevity. Valve adjustments are generally due every 105,000 miles. When you adjust the valves, it's a good idea to also change the spark plugs and all nearby gaskets. Getting a valve adjustment done ensures prolonged engine life and optimal performance.

When does my timing belt need to be replaced on my Honda?

During the timing belt service, the wearable items should also be replaced. There is no need to pay additional labor to do those in the future. The timing belt service is one of the most crucial service intervals to ensure your Honda lasts a lifetime!

But, with proper maintenance, most Hondas can avoid major repairs.
